Kyrou named OHL player of week for second time

Jordan Kyrou added to his long list of honours Monday when he named the OHL player of the week again.

The Sarnia Sting captain is the league's first two-time winner this season.

Kyrou had two goals, nine assists and a plus-six rating as the Sting went 3-0.

He had three assists and was the third star in a 6-3 win over the Flint Firebirds last Wednesday. He was the first star with a goal and two assists in a 5-3 win over the Soo Greyhounds on Friday. He was the first star again with the winning goal and four assists in a 6-5 win over the Oshawa Generals on Sunday.

The 19-year-old forward from Toronto is the Ontario Hockey League scoring leader with 73 points in 35 games. He also has a league-best 50 assists.

Kyrou has 19 points during his current seven-game point streak.

The St. Louis Blues prospect won a gold medal with Canada at the world junior championship earlier this month.

Leufvenius in rankings

Sting left-winger Hugo Leufvenius is 136th among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting mid-term rankings released Monday.

Leufvenius has 16 goals and 20 assists in 46 games.

The 18-year-old from Stockholm also has a plus-13 rating and 18 penalty minutes.

The six-foot-three, 224-pound Leufvenius was a first-round pick in the 2017 Canadian Hockey League import draft.

The rankings are for players eligible for this year's NHL draft to be held June 22-23 in Dallas.

Barrie Colts right-winger Andrei Svechnikov is No. 1 among North American skaters.

No record for 'Hounds

The Sting's win Friday ended the Greyhounds' point streak at 29 games (28-0-0-1).

That's the second-longest point streak in OHL history. Only the London Knights' 31-game streak in 2004-05 is better.

The Greyhounds have only five regulation losses this season. Two are against the Sting.

Platt scores in loss

Jessica Platt of Bright's Grove scored for the Toronto Furies in a 7-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiennes on Saturday at Progressive Auto Sales Arena.

The Canadian Women's Hockey League game was played in Sarnia as part of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada.

Furies forward Carolyne Prevost of Sarnia was held off the scoresheet. She's their leading scorer with 17 points in 21 games.
